The Silver Creek Players is a performing group of children from three continents. These sparkling performers are part of Sequoia's Silver Creek Academy in Mesa, Arizona. Some of the students were born in the United States, while others were adopted from orphanages in Russia; a country so vast that it stretches from the European continent all the way across Asia.
These artistic children delight audiences with their colorful costumes, amazing dance sequences, vocal and instrumental music, and engaging production numbers.
The children have been performing to audiences in Arizona, and also had the opportunity to travel to the East Coast, where they saw actual places featured in their program. They saw history come alive as they visited and performed in Illinois, Vermont, Boston, and Washington D. C. Particularly memorable was a performance at the Russian Cultural Center, associated with the Russian Embassy in Washington. Here the children were able to present an overview of American History to an enthusiastic audience of Russians.
Audiences have the opportunity to see how these children from the other side of the world have become a part of America. Their tour program underscores the cohesive culture of our nation, made up of immigrants from all over the world. The program, entitled “Tribute to America”, highlights our country’s development from earliest colonists and patriots through the westward expansion. It brings heart-felt appreciation for our freedom, along with scintillating fun as talented youngsters sing, dance, and celebrate America!
